You can find contacts and services in the pages below related to EDI practices, wellbeing and mental health at UCL. Hyejin Ku is the first point of contact for any EDI concerns and staff and students are welcome to contact Hyejin or any other Committee members for information, advice and initiatives related to policies and procedures. They liaise with the Head of Department, providing valuable feedback and aim to implement good practice. We welcome ideas and suggestions on how to make the department a better place for all.
